Nonnormal amplification of the thermohaline circulation
A simple zonally averaged coupled ocean-atmosphere model, with a relatively high resolution in the meridional direction, is used to examine physical mechanisms leading to transient amplification of thermohaline circulation (THC) anomalies. It is found that in a stable regime, in which small perturba...
